Septic Tank Maintenance

The importance of regular septic tank maintenance, simply cannot be underestimated. Like anything that keeps our homes running smoothly, septic systems require maintenance on a somewhat regular basis. Neglecting them is consequently one of the most common causes of septic failure, damage, and malfunction.

Septic Tank Cleaning

The importance of cleaning your system can be underestimated. If the septic tank is not cleaned regularly, solids will overflow from the tank and into the leaching system. This will result in clogged leach lines, contaminated soil, and ultimately leach failure.

The average national cost of septic tank pumping and cleaning is $350, with most Farmingdale homeowners spending between $250 and $483. This data is based on actual project costs in New York.

If your tank hasn’t been pumped in the last 5 years, you are seeing wet areas or standing water above your drainfield, your toilets are running slowly or there are odors in your NY home, you may need to have your septic system cleaned. Below are some things to think about that will influence the cost of your septic system cleaning.

Pumping

Under normal conditions, you should pump your New York tank every 1-3 years based upon the number of people living in your home. Generally, this pumping will take around 30-45 minutes. If you know the location of your septic system, this could save you some money on the back end because your Farmingdale NY professional won’t have to charge you the time to locate it.

Size of tank

Obviously, smaller tanks cost less to clean, although you may need to do them more often. Larger tanks require more labor and possible machinery to dig up and pump the tank.

Replacing common parts

You may need parts replaced, such as a filter, which could cost a few hundred dollars. However, this filter is necessary in maintaining the function and longevity of your Farmingdale drainfield.

Soil fracturing

If your professional notices that your tank is failing, they can sometimes resurrected by properly pumping the tank, cleaning the drain field lines, installing filters and a process known as fracturing the soil, which involves inserting a hollow tube into the ground and injecting a 300-pound blast of air. While this procedure could cost into the thousands dollars, it’s much less expensive and much less hassle than installing a new system, especially in Farmingdale New York.

Keeping it clean

You know that your septic tank will work only if the bacteria in it are healthy and hungry. If they get sick or die, your septic tank will start sending un-digested waste out to the drain field which will quickly plug it up. Below are some “weird” things that could kill your septic tank:

Chemotherapy Drugs

Anti-Bacterial Hand Washing Soap

Toilet Bowl Cleaners

Bath and Body Oils

Dishwashers

Water Softeners

Time-Release Pills and Capsules

Tip

Once your septic tank is uncovered – take photos of it and diagram it in relation to your home. This information can save you money and could prove valuable if your tank needs additional service in the future.
